Missouri marijuana sales reach record highs in May

Missouri marijuana sales reach record highs in May

May 2026 becomes Missouri’s highest sales month by total sales, adult-use sales, and daily sales average.

Missouri marijuana sales reached $135.07 million in May, setting a new monthly record for total sales and marking the state’s strongest sales month on a daily average basis.

The May total included $124.24 million in adult-use marijuana sales and $10.83 million in medical marijuana sales, marking Missouri’s highest monthly sales total in program history.

May also set a new high on a daily sales basis. With 31 days in the month, Missouri marijuana sales averaged $4.36 million per day at retail. That surpassed a record set in April, which averaged $4.32 million per day.

The record month was driven by continued growth in adult-use sales, even as medical marijuana sales continued to decline.

May 2026 sales were up $2.26 million, or 1.70%, compared to May 2025, when Missouri reported $132.81 million in total marijuana sales.

Adult-use sales increased from $117.55 million in 2025 to $124.24 million for the month in 2026, a gain of $6.69 million, or 5.69%.

Medical marijuana sales moved in the opposite direction. Medical sales declined from $15.26 million in May 2025 to $10.83 million in May 2026, a decrease of $4.43 million, or 29.03%.

May’s results show Missouri’s marijuana market continuing to expand, even as growth moderates and other markets regress.

Adult-use sales remain the primary driver of the market, accounting for nearly 92% of total sales in May, while medical marijuana sales continue to represent a shrinking share of overall sales. But long-term medical sales have the potential for a strong resurgence as the future of rescheduling unfolds.

The headline from May is clear: Missouri recorded its highest monthly marijuana sales total, its highest adult-use sales total, and its strongest daily sales average in the data provided.
